Software that performs the following steps is provided: (i) running an application on a first virtual machine on a first physical server, with the application including a first plurality of independently migratable elements, including a first independently migratable element that utilizes a first resource on the first virtual machine and a second independently migratable element that utilizes a second resource on the first virtual machine; and (ii) on condition that a first migration condition exists, migrating the first independently migratable element to a second virtual machine on a second physical server, such that the first independently migratable element is able to utilize a resource that is similar to the first resource on the second virtual machine on the second physical server while the second independently migratable element remains able to utilize the second resource on the first virtual machine on the first physical server.

Dynamic relocation of applications in a cloud application service model

Software that performs the following steps is provided: (i) running an application on a first virtual machine on a first physical server, with the application including a first plurality of independently migratable elements, including a first independently migratable element that utilizes a first computing resource on the first virtual machine and a second independently migratable element that utilizes a second computing resource on the first virtual machine; and (ii) on condition that a first migration condition exists, migrating the first independently migratable element to a second virtual machine on a second physical server, such that the first independently migratable element is able to utilize a computing resource that is similar to the first computing resource on the second virtual machine on the second physical server while the second independently migratable element remains able to utilize the second computing resource on the first virtual machine on the first physical server.

Software that performs the following steps: (i) running a first customer application on a first set of virtual machine(s), with the first customer application including a first plurality of independently migratable elements, including a first independently migratable element and a second independently migratable element; (ii) dynamically checking a status of the first set of virtual machine(s) to determine whether a first migration condition exists; and (iii) on condition that the first migration condition exists, migrating the first independently migratable element to a second set of virtual machine(s) without migrating the second independently migratable element to the second set of virtual machine(s).
